What Are Essential Amino Acids Supplements?

Essential amino acids supplements (EAA) contain amino acids that are essential for bodily function but must be acquired through the diet. Amino acids are carbon-containing molecules that are the building blocks of protein; they form chains that become protein molecules. Proteins provide structure to all cells, especially those found in muscle tissue, and play a role in growth, repairing tissue, building muscle, moving nutrients, initiating chemical processes, and preventing illness.

Essential Amino Acids Supplements Benefits

Essential amino acids supplements have many benefits because essential amino acids are involved in nearly every chemical process in the body. Of the 20 amino acids, nine cannot be produced by the body and are essential to human health, boosting athletic performance and general well-being.† Essential amino acids are the primary performance supplement for building strength, promoting healthy metabolism, and supporting connective tissue.†

Note: This powder stinks, and tastes bad. However, that's normal. I used to buy individual essential amino acids and mix them in the correct proportion, and the result smelled and tasted exactly like this. That's how it's supposed to be. The reason it stinks is because free-form amino acids don't normally exist in foods, so we never developed a taste for them. It's not horrible, you won't want to ***** or anything. But you won't likely want to drink it plain. Also, it dissolves poorly but less poorly in water that's a little warm. I imagine hot water might break down the EAAs into other protiens but I'm not sure. I use water that's luke-warm and it works. Stir but don't use a hand blender or it'll foam too much.
Cocoa powder is the best way to mask the taste and smell. I imagine coffee would also work. A little of your favorite carbohydrate helps your system absorb the aminos, by giving you some fuel so it can use the aminos to build muscle and create neurohormones rather than using the aminos as fuel which your body does if it's low on energy.
You don't need much of it. Taking 30 grams of free-form EAAs at once is a huge waste. Even world-class bodybuilders probably won't use more than 10-15 grams at a time, but you'll want to take it often because pure aminos get into your system very quickly and might get used up within an hour or so. It's better to take for example 5 grams every 30 minutes or 10 grams an hour than a larger amount less often. I imagine this would also be good for long fasting (with a little carbohydrate as well) to prevent excessive breakdown of muscle, skin, connective tissue and other tissues, as well as possible slight cognitive sluggishness that can be caused from a lack of aminos in the blood (brain hormones are made from aminos.)
I'm not an expert in any of this so I recommend doing your own research in case I've gotten something wrong.

eaas and bcaas both work as they should!! Mix well I use injunction with each other,to flavor it all you need do is mix in a propel or some other powdered drink mix and bam it tastes great!! Shipping is timely and products work as they should with the added benefit of know what your putting in your body!! Thanks Bulk sups!!!!

If it weren't for the unpalatable taste of the product ... even after mixing it into juice or coffee, I would have given a better rating. I do believe this product can help overcome some of my weight problem, for example, but getting it down the hatch is a necessary part of the 'treatment', so it need to be at least moderately tasty. I wish I could say this is ... but I'd be lying.
